Jason La Confora's Twitter is saying the Seahawks are in a push to trade TJ Houshmandzadeh, but aren't getting any bites so far.
Even though Housh showed he's still got some gas in the tank during the preseason, he's looking like he's going to be a casualty of the rebuild. He's also 33 and coming off sports hernia surgery, but he hasn't had any setbacks so far. It doesn't help that he's also due a hefty $7M roster bonus, which no other team in its right mind would want to deal with. Well, anyone but the Rams at least. But will Schneider and Carroll really trade a guy with Housh's talent to a division rival?
That's the story so far. This could also indicate that Vincent Jackson is still on the Hawks' radar, and maybe explains why the front office is stockpiling draft picks.

If we get rid of Housh and dont replace him i think PC is looking more into competing next year and year after and getting young guys experience this year. I have an idea Hasselbeck is out of here after this year no matter what. Pete is completely rebuilding this team. 3 years from now we will contend for championship. I hope not. I want it NOW!

I regretably say we take a 4th and pay his salary for this year so that someone will take him. And we make it a 3rd based on production. Not that I want him gone but I don't see him being here after he has been placed on the trading block, just make sure we get something.
Enough 4th round picks and we may be able to trade into the early second round come draft day!

If we get a 4th for him we could just tell the chargers they can have all of our 4th round picks for V jack

Don't like the thought of giving up any picks though.

2nd - Housh is a great receiver. But the veteran character comes from Branch and their is plenty of talent in the young guys. Housh is better trade bait and will shed more salary. Trade him to the Rams. They win 6-8 games with him and SF has to play him twice too.

How many people hated on Alexander when he fell off? Oh that's right EVERYONE!
Hasselbeck's best years are behind him, which we all know. He's not Peyton Manning or Brett Favre. He's not going to throw for 16 / 4,000 / 35 / 10. I'm thinking 9 / 1,800 / 13 / 15.
Re-building a team means giving the young guys/future of the team as much experience as you can. If the Hawks are 5-3 halfway through you may think about going for it, but anything less and you are better off emptying the bench.
As far as Housh goes the best odds are Housh for a 4th (3rd based on performance). We would have to cover a percentage of the contract, so maybe an expiring contract.
Hawks get...
Bad contract (expiring hopefully)
4th - 3rd pick (performance-based... 1,000 yards, 10 TD's, pro-bowl, or snaps)
Other team...
Houshmandzadeh
high-five
and a coke and a smile

I'm not excited about another crappy year either, but that's the reality of the situation. You know darn well that PC knows this, but he also knows he can't say it because too many Hawk fans will cry about another bad season. You guys expect him to come in and in one off season rebuild one of the worst teams in football into a contender. Not very likely. If take the North West blinders off, you will see that EVERYONE else in the NFL picture, see our team as in a serious rebuild, maybe winning 5 or 6 games. You can get ticked at me all you want and give this post a negative mark, but deep down you know it's the truth.
I for one am excited at the changes, I don't want a team that has hopes of competing in the sorry NFC West,I have hopes that our team will come out of this rebuild better than ever, a team that will not only compete in our weak division but compete with the powerhouses in the NFL.

Please don't label me as a Matt hater, I am not, I am just looking at this logically and realistically. We have no real hopes of playoffs much less championships this year. Nor do we have hopes that when the Hawks are truly competitive, next year or the year after more likely the year after that Matt will be the QB so the obvious choice is to look ahead.
Now obviously as a Hawk fan, I will pull for a win every game, and if Matt is the starter I will hope he performs well, hoping for those and being realistic about our needs for the future are not mutually exclusive.

This isn't out of of sentimentality for Wilson or Housh or anybody else, but you have to look at the timing here. You go through the whole offseason, the minicamps, training camp, preseason games, and THEN you make these decisions on some of your important veteran players? Whatever else you think of Housh, he's the receiver Hasselbeck is most comfortable with. They've committed to the season with Hasselbeck as the starting QB -- I think -- so it would really make sense to figure out early on where you stand with the vets whose skill sets and personalities are already well known. And please, nobody give me a bunch of hooey about how they had to evaluate Housh for six months before they came to a decision. Everybody in the world knows exactly who he is, what his capabilities are, what his personality is, and how much money he's making. This isn't figuring out who the fifth and sixth WRs on your roster are going to be, this is a decision you make in March, not September.
If they're rebuilding then, dammit, rebuild. Don't fart around with your key veterans for six months and then decide you'll sell them off for low round draft choices a week before the season starts. All I can say is that I hope two years from now the next generation of Seahawks is in place, that decisions going forward will be made in a more timely fashion, and trades will be value for value and carefully considered.
I was very pleased on draft day, not only with the picks but with the value trades they made, but this week has been a bummer.

Housh for VJax plus baggage? Not so sure. 7 million reasons to make the trade, though, which would pay a couple of good Oline and at least one decently beasty RB.

Not really. Tate and Butler were virtual guarantees to make the team regardless, and Obomanu will make it primarily for special teams. Williams was the only mystery, and even with his great progress you'd be a fool to put all your eggs in his basket given his history. WR is actually the position with the least amount of mystery involved, with the exception of Williams we've known where the team stands there since draft day.
Again, if Housh is standing in the way of the development of the younger receivers then you make this move months ago, before he has spent minicamps and training camp and preseason games building a rapport with your starting quarterback. Waiting until September 1 is just boneheaded.

What are you smoking, Hass has never reached 4000yds or thrown 30tds even in his prime with Walter and Hutch protecting him. Now 25 tds on the other hand is doable with career proof that it's all his talent level can achieve.
